Master of Science in Cloud Computing with Management - A 1 Year MSc program at Global College Malta
The MSc program in Cloud Computing and Management uniquely designed by faculty at Global College Malta and industry experts at Wharfedale Technologies merges business expertise with cutting edge technology insights to inspire and educate a new generation of Information Technology entrepreneurs.
Throughout the one-year program, candidates will have been introduced to the concept of enterprise and may opt to start their own business in the Cloud domain. The three-semester full-time MSc prepares graduates for leadership positions in leading edge technology organizations.
The program aims to educate future entrepreneurs into how they can maximize the contribution Cloud can provide for an organization and how they can utilize the characteristics of cloud and its benefits such as scalability, elasticity and utility billing to reduce their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase ROI.
Students will learn how to assess, evaluate, and apply the necessary tools to analyze an organization’s assets and verify if the cloud security and privacy implications are justifiable in implementing Cloud Computing, whilst understanding business requirements and be able to propose the right cloud solution. By the end of this intensive graduate level program, candidates will have a solid foundation in Enterprise Resource Planning applications deployed on cloud and use their benefits to generate results for their organisations. As future leaders, graduates will develop their management skills, team leading abilities and strategic thinking and will be confident in operating on a competitive market.

Degree and diploma etc.
Successful candidates who complete all the study requirements for this program receive their Master of Science degree in Cloud Computing and Management from Global College Malta.
While there is a great future potential, there is expected to be a huge gap between supply and demand to meet the needs of the cloud technologies market. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for the graduates of this course.
More and more corporations evaluate their current IT topography and move more into a SAAS (Software As A Service) based model, which is driven by the Cloud platform and technology. This not only ensures cost savings, but removes redundant hardware. This means that organisations need to restructure their internal IT needs and deployment strategy, which requires cloud infrastructure specialists. There is thus a great demand for professionals who will be able to understand and implement various ERP applications, as well as manage data and various security aspects around it.
